i'm meeting with a prof. next week to discuss a poor exam grade. i just picked up the exam and will be reviewing it today. any tips on how to approach this kind of a meeting? i'm not looking for a grade change, but do want to know how i can ask why i deserved such a poor grade (b-) without offending her.

i have a 3.1'ish GPA at an HYSCC law school... i landed a summer job that has undoubtedly catapulted my legal research, writing, and analytical skills to a level far beyond what I ever acquired as a 1L. despite the amazing, incredibly educating experience, i have this awful gpa hanging over my head. same question as the OP minus the drop-out consideration: am i totally screwed for biglaw firms in this economy, with this gpa???
